For a new QB to come in like that and lead his team to the NC, that is amazing.

That was a great game, and initiated Foge Fazio's descent into Bolivian. I can still picture the game winning play, when Adam Haysbert (brother of a future kickass U.S. President) split the safeties for a long 6.
The game also featured a good battle between Bill Fralic, Pitt's all-everything OL, and BYU's Jim Herrmann. When I talked to Jim in '04 about that game, he was still bitter that SI talked about his getting "pancaked" by Fralic. "I beat that dude that game," Jim assured me. I'd call it a split decision, but against Fralic, that's an impressive performance.
